    Fish ID please

    Hi all, I wasJust wondering if anyone may be able to ID these 2 fish please. I have a feeling the smaller one is a moses perch, but the other one I don't know. These fish were caught this morning on the south end of bribie, land based, using light gear and live yabbies. All in all it was a good morning with a few flathead and bream thrown in the mix.

    #2 looks like a juvenile brown morwong, but the picture isn't very clear so hard to be sure. Either way, it is from that family of mother in law fish. Poor eating quality.
    Note to self: Don't argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience....

    Ive caught a few of them off the 24's and looked and looked through fish ID sites and came up with painted sweetlip last year.. weird thing is though it deffo looks like a morwong of some description, even google images says it is a painted sweetlip.. netted morwong sounds like a better fit though..

    Cheers for the reply guys and thoughts, was quite surprised actually to catch these guys considering I was just targeting for some whitting. Either way they were a good little fight on light gear
